Timing Chain vs. Belt
I just had a random question pop into my head while doing some homework on chain drive systems. On a VG (my car) there is a belt and hence no need for lubrication. So I was wondering what kind of lubrication system is used on the VE's timing chain setup? Curiosity is what makes this forum go 'round!

So it is exclusively a type of oil stream lubrication with some kind of syphon/drain mechanism at the bottom...There is not a bath of oil that the lower sprocket and chain sit in, correct?
Nevermind, I just found a Table to determine which lubrication system is suggested and considering the rpm's the gears can turn at, oil stream lubrication is the only type that would work. I guess I was just wondering if the crank gear sat in a bath of oil, as well...
